1.0 INTRODUCTION

Taj weed is a set of rules which govern how the Qur'an should be read. It is required by fard. Tajweed by definition is bettering, improving, and becoming excellent while functionally, it means articulating every letter in the Quran in its correct timing and from its proper point of articulation, as Muslims people need to study about the Tajweed and how to read Quran.

Tajweed is very important in reading al Quran. Wrong pronunciation would not only lead to meaningless phrase, it can also lead to different meaning of a particular verse. Furthermore, most Malaysians do not understand Arabic. This makes learning Taj weed even more difficult.

Quran recitation must be taken very seriously. Arabic letters each have a Makhraj, an exit or articulation point in the mouth or throat from which they originate. If a person does not know the attributes of each letter there is a danger that he will change the meaning of the words in Quran recitation. Observing the rules of Tajweed in reciting protects the reciter from making mistakes in reciting the Quran.

Therefore, this study was conducted to overcome the problems faced by teachers and students while learning the rules of Tajweed. Tajweed is not intended to be about just learning rules and committing them to memorize, but rather the correct application of those rules while reciting the Quran.

(12)

1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT

In this modem era, many Muslims have poor comprehension and appreciation of reading Al Quran. It is because of lack of interest and knowledge about Tajweed. Younger generations mostly have no or less interests in learning Taj weed. This is probably because of the conventional learning method that does not attract them. Therefore, this courseware is developed to attract young and old generations to learn basic knowledge of Tajweed.

1.2 AIM

The aim of this project is to develop a courseware that can help people recite Al Quran properly using a correct Tajweed.

1.3 OBJECTIVE

• To design a friendly and attractive user interface for the courseware. • To develop two modules of Tajweed learning i.e. Learning and Exercise. • To transform the conventional learning material of basic Tajweed into

This application is very easy and simple to user especially for beginner. It also is providing examples and how to pronounce the Taj weed. This application also provides some Taj weed rules there are Noon Tanween, Mim Sukoon, Noon Meem Tashdid, Qaiqala, Madd and Other rules. Besides that, it simpit touch the speaker icon functionality to come out the sound of Tajweed correctly. In addition, this application is once it installed, users no need internet connection for using the application so they can use it anytime and everywhere they want. The disadvantage of this application is because the user can only know Tajweed but do not know how to read them right or wrong. This is because the project does not provide a method to detect such a way of reading (voice recognition). The existing of this courseware features display in Figure 2.1 below.

Development

Figure 3.1: ADDlE model

ADDlE is used in the production of a system or any program. ADDlE have five phases, the first phase of the Analysis, the second is the Design, Development is third, fourth is the Implementation and final phase is the Evaluation. For each phase have its own criteria, to facilitate the work, for each phase should be consulted carefully and to ensure no mistakes then move on to the next phase. This is because the phase should be done in an orderly manner by sequence.

(21)

It is an Instructional Systems Design (ISD) model. Most of the current instructional design models are spin-offs or a variation of the ADDlE model. ADDlE is improvement to the model is the use of rapid prototyping. This is the idea of receiving continual or formative feedback. This is the idea of receiving continual or formative feedback while instructional materials are being created. This model can save time for developers and production money by catching problems while they are still easy to fix.

3.2 JUSTIFICATION OF ADDlE MODEL

3.2.1 ANALYSIS

The Analysis phase is the most important phase in the ADDlE model. The goals and objectives are set and the learning environment as well as the knowledge and skills are identified. During this phase, designer typically will review problems, goals and objectives, user's need, characteristics that should be incorporated in the new system. To ensure that all worked well, the designer must provide a schedule of work to complete and smoothly. Below are some of the questions provided in the analysis phase:

1.Who are the stakeholder and what are their characteristics?

• The stakeholder is for all Muslim especially for learner and student. 2.What they are expected from this courseware?

• They are expected this courseware can give a new improvement for them especially how to pronounce the basic rules Tajweed in good way.

(22)

4. What are the delivery options to users?

By using CD rom for teachers at school actually, Website for Secondary students and learners, and also by smartphone for any users then can access and learn anytime they want.

5. What is the timeline for project completion?

• Provide and doing the Gantt chart timeline to make sure the product can complete on time.

6.How to solve the constraint courseware?

• Make a comparison for some existing courseware either by android application or website, then make an improvement from the disadvantages of that in new courseware.

3.2.2 DESIGN

The next phase is Design phase which is the systematic process of research, planning, identifying and specifying the complete design of the course objectives, lesson planning, topic content, training methodology, all of their forms, storyboards, user interface prepared. In this phase is about the information compiled from the analysis phase and builds an instructionally images and audio training program. The design phase should be systematic and specific. This is because, to facilitate this process beyond in perfecting the new system. During this phase for this system, the whole interfaces providing have its function start from Main Menu interface, both of module and also exercise then Exit interface.
